Chapter 459 Hope

• Todd's POV:
• I didn't understand what the doctor meant, so he pointed to the needle marks on her skin. "Look," he said, "These should all be from her own doing. I'm not very familiar with alternative medicine, but I know that some doctors use needles to stimulate pressure points. My guess is, she was trying to stimulate her legs to keep the medication from numbing them. To have so many needle marks, it shows just how much pain she was enduring."
• As I listened to the doctor, it felt like countless hands were yanking at my heart. The pain was so intense that it was hard to breathe.
